First post and new also

Hi to all of you olds guys (and gals I guess). Long time olds lover and ready to be another owner, when I find the right car, right price again. I am finding everything here very interesting and spend much time reading all the posts.

Thanks for the welcome! There is one picture on my public profile, but I will get more up as soon as possible. The exterior is in decent shape but it has a Flintstone floor, and the suspension could use some work. The 330 runs like a dream though,
its not a 442.

Good looking car. Thanks for saving it. Does it have a 442 in it? I know I just had to ask for our non olds friends

Welcome to CO

Nice car,

Flintstone floor that's a good one. Must have a good pair of shoes to stop

Welcome to the site! I've got a project car that is also a 1964 330 4 speed car, although mine needs much more work than yours does

Something I've not figured out yet, yours doesn't have the large metal trim piece between the tail lights. Mine is a Cutlass hardtop and has it, but I've also got a F85 post car for parts that has the large panel. I'm beginning to wonder if the F85 has had that panel added. That possibly it was once like yours? John

Thanks John, that's quite the collection you have! I believe the trim piece was removed by the previous owner, I am torn as to which looks better, on or off. Original is nice, but it looks nice and clean without it. Take care!

Great looking car, love the pic's of it.
It appears to me, that you have the Pontiac window cranks and door handles.
I take it that you are going to be doing some floorpan work in the interior.
Do you know any of it's history, and what plans do have for it?
Welcome to CO.

Jim

Thanks! The floor is first on the list, then some suspension work and a disk brake conversion. I don't know much about it's history, but it doesn't seem to be too butchered, I think it is is fairly original.
